Whatever you give your life to runs your life.
Stop focusing your time and energy on your weaknesses and what you are trying to resist, Instead of reach.
The more you focus on the bad, be it what may, the more you sabotage your own happiness.
Focus your energy on your strengths.
Any urge that has less time in your life, has less of you.
What you feed leads.
So feed you your future and starve your past.
Sometimes in life……..
You have to tell your family and friends that you love them
BUT
that you need turn off, tune out, and go MIA for awhile.
It’s nothing personal
BUT
You just need to get your STUFF together.
You will send them postcards, flowers and all the above,
But it’s about time that YOU found yourself.
BECAUSE
Once you become confident about what you want to do, nothing can stop you.
-XOXO, stay blessed loves
I Had a Dream
That One Day,
I will wake up from Dreaming
And start living in my Reality…
“I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.”
― Bill Cosby
There’s a misconception that the continent of Africa is a place of starvation, poverty, and lack. On the contrary, I found out that was not the case. Visitng the country of Nigeria, my mother and father’s native land, I have learned that Nigeria, as well as all of Africa, is a thing of beauty, poise, and well-being. Showing the slums of various countries in Africa, is like showing the slums of Washington D.C. You see a partial picture of a nation and not the real deal. And this my friend is the real deal of Lagos, Nigeria.
“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
Swallowing the hate that consumes this world,
Shedding tears on the fires that disintegrate brotherly bonds,
Vomiting wisdom for those who will listen,
And Praying peace, for all God’s children.
Slow down Time!
You’re running way too fast.
How do you expect me to catch up?
I was a little girl just last weekend playing in the park with the big kids.
I fell off my bike, but I was a big girl so I didn’t cry much.
When I recall Time, didn’t I graduate from elementary school last Monday?
My mama surprised me with that silver glistening flute I adored so much.
I slept with it, ate with it and did everything, but shower with it.
That flute, it was my best friend.
Time, do you remember Tuesday when I was in junior high, getting ready for my first Dance?
I plied clothes on top of my well-worn out flute.
I didn’t stop to put my flute back in its proper case,
I didn’t want my friends to leave the house without me.
Oh Time, Wednesday was when I entered high school.
I was a teenager, a well nurtured- spoiled, pop princess in the making.
I was also a young entrepreneur. Yes, the mall was my court, and social networks, my backyard.
I was stacked up in money, gossip the currency.
Now time, I know you love Friday, that was graduation day!
At the podium I was scared to speak in front of my classmates.
I froze in the middle of my speech at sometime, but I managed to pull through.
When I received my diploma, I felt accomplished, renewed, inspired, exhilarated!
Saturday was my favorite day Time.
You and all my family helped me get ready for college.
I packed my belongings and even remembered to pack my dusty flute for if I got a little lonely.
But nothing could stop us Time because we were both unstoppable.
But now it’s Sunday Time.
My optimism is fighting the difficult world called life.
Reality is weighing me down, but I’m trying to lift myself up.
I’m alone writing about my memories Time;
Somewhere between freshman year and finals, I lost my flute….
I made a pact to myself.
I made a pact to CHANGE
Change my mentality of low-self esteem, confusion, and rejection.
Change the words I speak over my situation.
I’m not a failure, I’m a winner. I’m not a nobody, I’m a star. I’m not a mistake, I’m the best solution.
I can’t sit back any longer and watch this life pass me by.
My dreams, I’ll fight for it.
My expectations, I’ll reach it.
My worries, I’ll forget about it.
My life, I will live it.
